"Our brick wall is John Lindsay, May 12, 1789 born in Rutherford
County, North Carolina. He died in Titus County Texas. Who his
parents were we haven't deserned but have seen many speculations
on the net. The Lindsay's of his line came to the Scottsboro
area via military land grants. My grandmother, Willie had
photos of the land grants for John and William Ransom.

John obtained his land in service with Andrew Jackson at the
Battle of New Orleans (war of 1812). John moved his family to
the Larkinsville, Ala area but moved to Texas with his second
wife and family. His 1st wife (our line) Martha Ledford died
and is buried in BlueSprings cemetery, Ala. along with many of
our Lindsay clan. Look for Proctors, Paradise, Hortons,
Giddens, Jones, Rices and Woosleys to name some off the top of
my head. By the way Woosley was pronounced "Oosley"

Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume I; III--Colonial
Councillors of State: "John Page the progenitor of the Page
family of Virginia, was a member of the English house of that
name, a branch of "the Pages of Harrow on the Hill" of
Middlesex, England. He was born in 1627 and came to Virginia
about 1650. Of the earlier years of his life in Virginia, save
that he acquired a considerable tract of land given in reward
for services in transporting persons into the colony, very
little is known, but 1657 he represented York county in the
house of burgesses. The commissioners to suppress Bacon's
rebellion reported that "Major John Page was a great loser in
his estate by the rebellion." On Dec. 12, 1681, Lord Culpeper
wrote to the authorities in England that he had appointed
"Colonel John Page of the Assembly to be councillor." He was
present at meetings of the council as late as 1689. In 1686 he
was appointed, together with Nicholas Spencer and Philip Ludwell
to revise and annotate the laws of the colony. On Oct. 15, 1691,
the privy council in England ordered that Col. John Page, who
had been thought to be dead, and for that reason omitted from
the last nomination of members of the council, should be
"restored to his place and presidency in the said Council of
Virginia." Col. Page was a man of pious life and took a great
interest in the welfare of his parish. It was he who gave the
land and twenty pounds in money towards building the old
Williamsburg church, which is still in a good state of
preservation. A fine collection of portraits, representing
members of this family, including Col. John Page, is to be seen
in the library of William and Mary College."

5 Mar 1685/86: York Co., Virginia, USA (21, 24). The will of
John Page, of "Middle Plantation", in Yorke County, Virginia,
Esqr., I give remainder of 291 acres of land on forks of
Powhatan (not sold to Henry Malara) to son Francis, if no male
heirs then to John Tyler son of my Granddaughter Elizabeth
Tyler. I give to grandson John Tyler 50 pounds sterling, to be
paid at age 18, if he should die before then, 30 lbs to other
children of Elizabeth Tyler. [may not be really grandchildren,
often in VA they called one grandchild but meant another
relationship, dates don't seem to be correct for grandchild]
John Page of Middle Plantation made his will on March 5, 1686.
He named his wife, Alice Page and his sons, Francis & Matthew,
to whom he left his substantial holdings. [L. P. Bk 3 23: Nugent
I: 238-239] He identified John Tyler [John Tyler identified
himself as the grandson of Colonel John Page when he claimed
his inheritance on August 19, 1706], John Tyler was contingent
heir to 200 acres of land in James City Coutny, which he
received after the death of Francis Page (son of John Page) in
1692. [L. P. Bk 6 413; Nugent II: 112] John Page identified John
Chiles as his grandson when he bequeathed him a mourning ring.
He also bequeathed mourning rings "to his coz. Henry Tyler and
his wife, and to his sister, Eliz: Diggs".
